The Desire to be
15th January 1915

If the secret of the being is concealed at once in his absolute conditionment and in his relative affirmation, it is in the latter first that he must seek for it. It is by scrutinising its primary data that we shall succeed, perhaps, in perceiving through and behind them the final reason of his existence, the cause of his cause. It is by reaching down to his roots that we shall discover the profundities of that antecedent, not previous in time but permanent, to which Knowledge gives the name of Unknowable.

For the secret of the being is within him.

Whatever be the postulate that we posit at the base of his existence, the first fact we have to recognise is the fact of that existence itself. Whatever concept of the Absolute we may form for ourselves, whether it be pure liberty or eternal determination, whatever state may exist anterior to all that we can call being, in that state the being already is. For if it were not, who could draw it out of its nothingness? And who could create, if it had not the power to create itself?

Now, for the being, to create himself means to appear. And to appear means to define himself, to become distinct, to affirm himself in the relativity. But what name are we to give to the principle of this distinctive affirmation and exclusive delimitation of the ego which is the foundation of all manifestation, of all relative creation?

The word, Thought, says too much and too little,too much if that conscient thought is meant which appears at the term of progressive evolution, and too little if it means a pure abstraction of the being previous to its coming into existence. This abstraction may very well define the essence of all its possibilities, but not its power to act and to become. To become implies not only pure thought, but tendency, effort, or, to express all in a single word, if that be possibledesire.

For desire represents in the being that first active form of Thought in which we must seek for the initial spring conscient or inconscient of its energies, the obscure genesis of its will and that first spontaneity of fundamental egoism by which the I of the relativity manifests.

Thought and Desire are for the inner universe what extension and movement are for the universe without. And if all the phenomena of the objective world can be reduced to the simple notion of movement, does not movement itself render sensible this first conceptual principle of the being,desire?
***

The universe is a field for all possible desires realised by the movement.

And among all these desires the one which renders the others possible, the one which is in the depths of the being, at its roots, before every other, is the desire to be.

But what is this desire?

We can know only its ultimate forms, its manifestations in ourselves. For desire as it expresses itself in whatever being, cannot tell us what desire was before any being existed. And yet nothing expresses so well as this word, desire, the principle of all beginnings.

Desire is more than force, for it is force directed towards an end, it is the unconscious will that no reason governs, the primary, spontaneous, formidable affirmation of that which wills to be. It dwells in all that lives and its power is already active in all that seems not to be alive.

From the obscurest affinity to the supreme aspiration of the spirit, in the apparent inertia of bodies as in the irresistible impulsion of the thoughts, desire is the principle, the hidden spring, the essence of all that is and even of all that is not yet but will be.

But where is the lurking-place, before things are, of this Desire, creator of the worlds? Whence and how is it born?

There can be no issue to such a question if we cannot conceive that it is part of the very essence of certain possibilities to translate themselves spontaneously into concrete realisations, the spontaneity of the fact realised being inherent in their nature itself and indistinguishable in them from the law of necessity.

And which among these possibilities could better than the desire to be bear in itself its own effectivity?

The desire to be being possible, the being came into existence and with him the movement by whose transformations were generated, along with the successions of Time, states of increasing materiality.

For desire is tendency, abstract, subjective movement, outside Space, in pure duration of Time.

And the progressive passage of this conditional and virtual form of movement to its concrete, objective, material forms defines the succession of the states of being from the first transcendences to the last realisations of the physical order of things.

In the domain of our comprehension the first desire was the first being; in the world of forms the first being was the first movement.

But this beginning is renewed at every moment; every movement renews it, every desire.

For what we call the beginning is not and cannot be the moment at which the relative arose out of the Absolute under the form of the desire to be. By beginning we mean not the when, but the how of a perpetual origination.

No relative reality can have an absolute beginning. The illusion of the beginning presents itself to the mind when it reaches the limit of the conceivable. It is the fortress which mind erects arbitrarily as a refuge at the very extremity of its own frontiers and represents only its inability to advance farther into the depths of the unknown.

When we speak, then, of the first possibility, we are only indicating the first stage conceivable to us of the progressive realisation. We resume in the word, without knowing it, all the successive series of diminishing potentialities and of antecedent transcendences in an indefinite continuity.

And when we reach the utmost limit of all the steps which our thought can take, we should thus formulate the supreme causes of existence; The universe is but the sum of the manifestations by which all affirms and objectivises itself,all that having the power to be, wills to be.
***

Is there anything that does not exist?

In the Absolute, outside the manifested world, all is; but all is indivisible, all is one. In the infinite nothing can be defined.

None of the terms, then, by which we designate and define being can be applied to the domain of the Absolute. And so too none of the characteristics of the Absolute can be applied to the cognizable universe.

To be in the cognizable universe is to be distinct, limited, finite. It follows that the universe is itself finite. Therefore it is capable of being a field for the pluralities of Time, Space and Number. However indefinitely number may increase, there is no infinite number; there is no number in the Infinite.

But this Finite itself must necessarily be relative. And it is only by an abstraction of the mind that we can conceive thus of the world at each moment of its progressive evolution. None of these moments exists in itself, no number is the last of numbers. Between the absolute Infinite and the perfect Finite, universal relativity defines itself progressively in the course of an indefinite manifestation.

If follows that at no moment does the world contain the total manifestation of the numberless virtualities of the Absolute, but at each moment it is the field of realisation for a new series of possibilities.

At each moment something that was not becomes; from what appears to us as non-existence rises some new mode of existence and from the inexhaustible mystery issues the indefinite succession of Time, and therefore the possibility of eternal progress. But whatever be the number of the progressive manifestations of the Unknowable, in relation to manifested being the manifested will always remain infinite.

The fact of manifestation has, then, this characterising feature that it renders distinct and multiple, discernable to us, what was lost in indivisable and indissoluble unity.

On the surface of the motionless depths of the Absolute, being appears like a wave moving, changing, always the same in its principle and its movement and always new in its forms and its elements.

In the invisible Identity something becomes illuminated by a radiating activity; by the light of the being relativities, ephemeral and successive, are distinguished in the Absolute, and this point in the Infinite which becomes visible forms the universe.

In the eternal present is the fugitive moment when what was not becomes, the unseizable instant in which there arises out of the inexhaustible mystery what never yet had been, while already that which was is returning to the immobility of that which no longer is. It is the indefinite repetition of this illusory movement that we call Time.

To our consciousness, which is that of manifested beings, the actual alone is perceptible, and if the past appears to us better discernable than the future, it is because there subsists in the present actuality the sense of the relation which links it to what no longer is, while the new relation which already links it to what is not yet, is for it, like everything unmanifested, a pure spontaneity and a mysterious creation.

And yet if every present resumes in itself all the past, we must perforce suppose that an identical bond of continuity links us to what will be as to what was. That is why around the unseizable present, that luminous point of existence, there forms itself the halo of memories and previsions which permits us to follow back to a greater or less distance of past time the track of what was and to perceive already with more or less precision what will be.

There is, then, in the apparent simplicity of each single moment a simultaneity of different elements which renders possible the phenomenon of consciousness.

Each individual consciousness is but an incessantly new polarisation of the eternal and the infinite.
***

If we consider the term in which the cosmic evolution culminates, we find that it is essentially the desire of conscious individualisation, the desire to be manifested, to take form, to be differentiated, separated from all, the desire to be oneself and exclusive of everything else which explains and sums up all that was before.

The principle of all relative manifestation is a principle of distinction, of division, of egoistic limitation. Egoism is at the root of the universe. And if it is said sometimes that it is love which created the worlds, we can say also that it was first egoism, love personal and passionate of the being for himself, which created the chaos out of which the worlds arose. For true love, impersonal and disinterested, creates harmony, not division. Love, as we conceive it, presupposes the appearance of the being. Before the distinction of beings from one another no other love existed except the ineffable beatitude of the identical One centred in eternal silence and absolute repose.

That self-regarding desire which is preeminently the egoistic principle was the first cause of the world, appears clearly if we consider the fact that it is the fundamental law of all individual life, the very root of the living existence.

Strip man of his visible and conscious egoisms and under the ashes of his consumed desires you will discover the fire of ego smouldering still; under the transfigured forms you will find always that attachment to the I without which the being would no longer exist.

From whence could be born the burning heats of love, the very flames of sacrifice if there were not some brand of egoism to serve for their nourishment?

Love is the soul of the Infinite; the finite can only rise out of it by opposing to it the contrary principle. But this opposition, however absolute it be, has for its point of support the principle of the Absolute itself and only conceals it under the veil of imperfect relativities. And however gross may be the forms of the partial manifestation, they bear in themselves an essential necessity of perfection. If there is no love that does not contain and consume for its fuel some kind of egoism, equally there is no worst egoism which is not a deformation of love to be transfigured by a progressive evolution into love that is perfect.

The universe is in the Infinite an immense brasier of love imprisoned and burning its way to liberty.
***

In the exclusive affirmation of the personal ego there resides at the same time as the principle of egoism its natural corollary, the principle of ignorance.

For consciousness of self is necessarily the result of an inconscience or at least of an imperfect consciousness of all that becomes alien to self. In order to enter into the relative the being renounces all the Absolute.

The personal ego is formed by a narrow concentration which loses sight of the impersonal Infinity; and the more intense this concentration, the more complete becomes the ignorance, the oblivion of all that is not the ego.

Whence proceeds this brilliant life of the ego which we call consciousness, if not from an ever narrower and more precise obstruction of the immense horizon of the subconscient with its indistinct, unseizable and indefinite contours? And, similarly, is not this individual subconscient itself a reduction of the universal to the limits of the potential ego?

The ego, once formed, may by its very contraction constitute itself as a mirror reflective of the universal. And it is in proportion as it affirms and distinguishes itself from all that is not itself that it can acquire an objective knowledge of the universal. The process by which its entry into relative existence is effected, conditions its new modes of reflective knowledge.

The principle of identical unity being that all is in all, distinctive being can always recover in itself by an act of oblivion contrary to that which renders it distinctive, by an impersonal contemplation, the momentary illumination of its ignorance.

The law of formation of the being may thus find its symbolic equivalent in that of the formation of Matter; it is by a sort of condensation of universal forces imprisoning themselves in ever narrower limits of forms always more and more concrete that the elements of Matter are constructed as well as those of conscious individuality. And the primordial nebula whose condensation around centres of etheric revolution will form one day material worlds, is our image and translation in space of that progressive condensation of the formidable desire to be around more and more distinet and multiple centres of conscious polarisation and individual affirmation.

So, being in its origin can be conceived as the immense desire, global and nebular, whose virtual elements, obeying the same law of mutual exclusion, are to form the indefinitely differentiated elements, the conflicting forces of the manifested world.

And in relation to each other individual beings resemble in their principle obscure and blind tendencies, primary forces which are ignorant of all that is not their own direction and have no cause of existence except their own impulsion, no consciousness except that of their rectilinear movement.

For the consciousness of the universal to awaken in them, the slow progress of objective sensibility is needed, effected by the opposing violence of their brutal affirmations, by the incessant shock of their mutual action and reaction.

By conflict the being shall learn that he is not unique and that other desires similar to his own, exclusive of his own, form this universe of which he is a part.

And this experience of which suffering is only another name, shall become the grand condition of his progress towards perfection.
***

That this desire, creator of conflict, is a desire preeminently blind becomes evident when we remember that the being goes straight towards suffering without having desired it or even foreseen.

For though all in the universe is tendency and finality, its individual affirmations are multiple and contradictory and each of them finds itself incessantly thwarted and in collision with all the rest. Thus from their conflict unforeseen results are born, realisations alien to the desire of the being. For this reason it would be puerile to explain all the effects of Nature by conscious and preconceived movement of will. Things are neither fortuitous nor intentional. And if their end responds to any predetermination, it can be only to that which is identical with the absolute liberty of the Unknowable.

Desire creates what it knows not; the being is not what it wish to be, but what it has been made by the spontaneities of the universe within it and without, conformable to its own or contrary to them. Thus, wishing to be sole, he loses himself in a multitude; striving towards duration he fixes himself in the impermanent; seeking to taste exclusively the joy of being, he enters into the great struggle and creates a world of suffering. This universe to which he is attached by his desire, discovers itself to him as a formidable assemblage of alien forces which he believes, to be blind and of elements which he takes for hostile, not knowing that in them as in him there inhabits one and the same principle,a single soul, the soul of desire.

When this soul instead of being divided into innumerable blind and exclusive desires resumes in each of them the consciousness of its own unity, then every being in all beings and all worlds and even beyond being and the worlds will live the same eternal and ineffable life of the Infinite.

But meanwhile it is enough that one of these desires should arrive at self-renunciation to discover in this soul of all desires the soul of love, the soul of supreme Unity.
